LASER
ASPIRATED SMOKE DETECTOR
LASD2 (Dual Channel)
INSTALLATION, OPERATION & MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS (CE)
1 INTRODUCTION
The LASD2 utilises two, high-sensitivity laser point detectors in an aspirated
enclosure. Each detector monitors the air from separate sampling pipes
which allows for a large area of coverage using sampling holes in place of
traditional point detectors. Three levels of alarm are provided for each
detector and can be set according to application.
A high performance aspirator and an independent flow sensing system for
each channel ensure a constant, monitored airflow which can be displayed
on 10 element bargraphs with adjustments for high and low flow thresholds.
Faults and alarms are reported via separate volt-free contacts.
The LASD2 can be fully configured using integrated programming keys or via
the USB interface port with the Windows™ based Configuration program.
The program also provides access to the events data that are logged within
the unit.
CAUTION! THE LASD2 SYSTEM HAS BEEN INDEPENDENTLY TESTED
AND CERTIFIED TO CEA4022 AND MUST BE INSTALLED IN STRICT
COMPLIANCE WITH THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IF THE CERTIFICATION IS
TO BE MAINTAINED
2 SYSTEM INSTALLATION
WARNING! THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED
INSTALLER IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL LOCAL AND NATIONAL
REGULATIONS
Remove the transparent cover using the special tool provided to unscrew the
tamper proof fasteners. Use the template provided to accurately position the
holes then secure the unit to a suitable surface (wall or ceiling) through the 4
corner fixing points. Ensure that the correct fasteners are used for the type of
surface that the unit is mounted on.
3 WIRING
For correct operation of the unit it is essential that the case is fully sealed so
that air can only be pulled into the system through the aspirating pipe. For
this reason, all wiring must pass through the cable seals provided and no
additional holes should be made. In order to pass a cable through a seal it is
necessary to make a small hole in the centre of the seal with a pointed
implement (e.g. small screwdriver) and then force the cable through the hole
into the unit. The small hole will expand to accommodate any cable diameter
from 4 to 10mm and then provide an airtight seal.
In order to gain access to the main circuit board for connection of the wiring it
is necessary to remove the display/detector mounting board which is held in
place by the clear top cover. Care should be taken when removing the board
to ensure that the ribbon cable on the underside is not strained. The ribbon
cable may be removed from the connector on the underside of the board to
allow the board to be fully removed.
WARNING! TO PREVENT RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR POSSIBLE
INJURY FROM THE ROTATION OF THE HIGH PERFORMANCE FAN, THE
SYSTEM SHOULD BE ISOLATED FROM THE SUPPLY WHEN THE TOP
COVER IS REMOVED
All connections to the main circuit board are to pluggable terminals that can
accommodate wire sizes up to 2.5mm2.

3.1.1 BATTERY
The LASD2 unit is designed to run from a nominal 24V
DC supply. The supply should be connected to the 2 way
‘BATTERY’ connector on the main circuit board ensuring
that the wires are correctly orientated. It is recommended
that the wires should be a minimum size of 16 x 0.25mm
(18AWG), or larger if the supply is further than 5m from
the system.
A ferrite core is provided for EMC compliance. This should be fitted to the
power supply wiring inside the unit as shown above.
The power requirements are dependant on the fan speed selected – see
Section 10.2 for details.

3.1.5 EXTERNAL RESET
The application of a nominal 24V DC signal to these pins forces the unit into
Reset clearing all faults and alarms.
3.1.6 USB CONNECTOR
A type ‘B’ USB connector is provided on the bottom of the unit to allow
connection to a PC using a standard USB cable (not supplied). This
communication port allows for configuration or downloading of logged data
using the Windows™ based Configuration Program. The connector is
protected with a screw-fit cover and care should be taken to ensure that the
cover is securely fastened when the connector is not in use to prevent the
ingress of dirt or moisture.
The Configuration Program and manual can be found on the CD-ROM
supplied with the LASD2 together with the necessary USB drivers.
4 DETECTORS
The LASD2 is supplied with two high sensitivity laser point detectors that
interface directly with the LASD2 circuit. This allows the detectors status and
analogue smoke level output to be read and interpreted by the LASD2
processor.
Each detector is identified with a 2 digit address
which is set on switches on the underside of the top
detector part. The addresses should be left to the
factory pre-set values of 1 for the detector in the
channel/detector 1 position and address 2 for the
detector in the channel/detector 2 position.
CAUTION! IF THE DETECTORS ARE REMOVED FOR MAINTENANCE THEY
MUST BE FITTED IN THE POSITIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE – FAILURE TO DO
SO MAY RESULT IN FALSE REPORTING IN THE EVENT OF A FAULT OR FIRE
5 PIPE INSTALLATION
A simple guide to pipe installation follows with examples of standard
configurations and should contain all the information required for simple
installations based on the standard configurations.

REFER TO THE PIPE INSTALLATION MANUAL (INCLUDED ON CD-ROM) FOR
DETAILED INFORMATION AND MORE PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
THE ICAM PIPE SIMULATION UTILITY (INCLUDED ON CD-ROM) SHOULD BE
USED TO CALCULATE TRANSPORT TIMES, DILUTION EFFECTS ETC. FOR ALL
INSTALLATIONS BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS GUIDE
Use 25mm (or ¾”) Red ABS pipe with sampling point holes drilled along its
length. The pipe run is terminated with an end cap that has a hole drilled in
its centre.
The position of each individual sampling point should be in accordance with
the rules for the positioning of point detectors. It is important to note that the
concentration of smoke on an individual sample point will be diluted by the
clean air from the other sample points and the end cap hole.
5.1 PIPE SPECIFICATION
For CEA4022 compliance, the pipe should be Red ABS to EN 50086-1
(Crush 1, Impact 1, Temp 33) with a nominal diameter of 25mm (or ¾”). The
sample pipe is normally supplied in 3 metre lengths and is cut as required
and joined by solvent welded sockets (permanent), or socket unions
(removable).

THE LASD2 INLET PORTS ARE TAPERED TO ALLOW A PUSH FIT OF THE
SAMPLING PIPE. THE PIPE SHOULD BE CUT SQUARELY TO ENSURE A GOOD,
AIRTIGHT SEAL. SOLVENT ADHESIVE SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR THIS JOINT
5.2 FIXINGS
The normal fixing methods are pipe clips, saddle clamps or even tie wraps.
Fixing centres are typically 1.5m apart.
5.3 END CAP
The end of the pipe is terminated with a cap, with a hole
drilled in its centre. If the end cap is not used, then
practically no air will be drawn through the side holes. If the
end cap does not have a hole then the contributions from
the side holes will tend to be very unbalanced. The end cap can be
considered a sampling point if required.
5.4 BENDS
Bends are either 45 or 90 degrees. For the 90-degree bends it is very
important that swept bends are used and not sharp elbows, as this will
introduce unacceptable pressure losses, and significantly increase the
response times from holes beyond the bend.
5.5 HOLES
The sampling pipe is perforated with sampling holes and can either be predrilled or drilled in situ. Care should be taken to avoid swarf entering the pipe.
Always blow compressed air through the pipe after drilling to clear any debris
before final connection to the equipment. In standard installations, with pipe
hanging from ceiling, the holes should be placed underneath, so the smoke
can easily rise up into the holes.
5.6 EXHAUST
In most installations the exhaust should be left open but there are some
circumstances when it may be necessary to connect pipe to the exhaust port
to divert the exhaust away from the location of the unit e.g. to reduce noise,
reduce risk of interference/deliberate obstruction, improved environmental
protection etc.
Pipe of the same specification as the sample runs should be used and its
length limited to a maximum of 10m to avoid significant reduction in the air
flow. Care should be taken to position the new exhaust outlet where it cannot
be accidentally or deliberately blocked.
5.7 FILTERS
The sampled air is passed through a 2 stage filter –
replacement order code FL55 - before entering the detector
chamber.
As standard, the filtration should be sufficient for all but
extremely dusty conditions where a Harsh Environment
Filter – order code FLU1 (3/4”) / FLU2 (25mm) - should be
fitted between the unit and the first sampling point.
5.8 STANDARD PIPE CONFIGURATION (Drawing not to scale)
Pipe length 50m max per channel with up to 11 x 3mm sampling points and 6mm end hole per
pipe. Pipes should be balanced i.e. equal length and equal number of holes.
Alarm (Fire) threshold set to level 3 and fan speed set to 9 for all
configurations with maximum pipe length/number of sample holes. The use
of additional bends as described in Section 5.4 will have a minimal affect on
performance – i.e. response time.

STATED LIMITS ARE BASED ON CEA 4022 CERTIFICATION TESTING.
SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS IN PIPE LENGTH MAY ALLOW THE FAN SPEED TO
BE REDUCED AND/OR NUMBER OF HOLES INCREASED. RESULTS OF SUCH
CHANGES, OR NON STANDARD/UNBALANCED CONFIGURATIONS, SHOULD
BE VERIFIED WITH THE PIPE SIMULATION UTILITY.

PIPE LENGTHS UP TO 100m PER CHANNEL MAY BE USED IF CEA 4022
CERTIFICATION IS NOT A REQUIREMENT. DESIGNS SHOULD BE VERIFIED
WITH THE PIPE SIMULATION UTILITY TO ENSURE THAT PERFORMANCE IS
SUITABLE FOR THE INTENDED APPLICATION.

signifies it is on. If it sounds short beeps, this signifies it is in the off
setting.
18) Set/Unset Alarm Latching function (SMOKE DETECTOR FAULT
LED(s) flashes). Bargraph display indicates alarm latching status – 0
= Non Latching, 1 = Latching.
19) Calibrate flow sensors (FAN FAULT LED flashes). CHANGE key
must be pressed for at least 2 seconds to initiate the flow calibration
process. FAN and POWER LEDs flash to indicate calibration in
progress. Fan is temporarily stopped as part of the calibration
process. The system will reset and revert to normal operating mode
when flow calibration is completed.
Pressing the SELECT key for longer than 1 second when the unit is unlocked
will cause the unit to revert to normal operating mode.
Momentarily pressing the SELECT or CHANGE key when the unit is locked
(UNLOCK LED is off) causes the unit to display the airflow on the bargraphs
for both channels. The display reverts back to the smoke level reading after a
few seconds.
6.3 SET-UP NOTES
The Fan Speed, Flow Limits and Flow Sensitivity need to be set for each
installation prior to Flow Calibration and testing. It is not possible to provide
the settings for all possible installations but the following guidelines should
assist in the commissioning of the unit.
6.3.1 FAN SPEED
The Fan Speed should be set as high as possible to achieve the fastest
transport time from the sampling point to the detectors, this is especially
important for longer pipe lengths and for installations that must conform to
the requirements of CEA4022 (see Section 5.8). There is, however, a
balance to be achieved between performance and the units power
requirements and reference should be made to the current consumption
figures in the specifications prior to setting this value. Fan speeds 3 and
below should not be used for standard configurations.
6.3.2 FLOW SENSITIVITY
This setting determines the systems responsiveness in reporting blocked
sampling points or broken pipes. The number of sampling points and fan
speed are the main factors to consider for this setting.
The following table shows typical settings for a variety of standard fan
speed/hole quantity combinations. Other speed/hole combinations should be
verified by testing during commissioning.

7 TESTING
TESTING SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
BEFORE UNDERTAKING ANY TESTING ENSURE THAT THE PROPER
AUTHORITIES HAVE BEEN INFORMED AND THAT THE UNIT HAS BEEN
ISOLATED FROM THE FIRE CONTROL PANEL IF NECESSARY TO PREVENT
UNWANTED ALARMS
7.1 DETECTORS
With the unit powered up and top cover removed each detector can be tested
for functionality using a low concentration smoke source or aerosol point
detector spray.
The detectors can also be tested by placing a magnet against the test marker
at the 7 o’clock position on the detector rim. This test electronically simulates
the effect of smoke in the sensing chamber.
7.2 SYSTEM
The installed system must be checked with the top cover securely fitted.
As a minimum, smoke should be introduced to the furthest sampling point
from the LASD2 unit on each branch of the pipe. The choice of smoke source
is dependant on the installation but in all cases the smoke must be present
for the duration of the test – aerosol sprays for point detectors do NOT work
on aspirated systems.
If it is possible to get close to the sampling point then a basic, functional
check can be carried out with smoke matches or lighted taper etc. but for
measurable performance tests then refer to Appendix A of the BFPSA Code
of Practice to select the appropriate test for the installation.
8 MAINTENANCE
With normal use, the filter elements will eventually become contaminated
with dust particles. It is recommended that the filter elements – order code
FL55 - are replaced and detectors cleaned every six months (more frequently
for dirty environments).
MAINTENANCE SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED
PERSONNEL. BEFORE CARRYING OUT ANY MAINTENANCE, NOTIFY THE
PROPER AUTHORITIES AND ISOLATE UNIT FROM THE FIRE CONTROL
PANEL TO PREVENT UNWANTED ALARMS
1. Remove power from the unit.
2. Remove the transparent cover using the special tool provided to unscrew
the tamper proof fasteners.
3. Lift out the foam filter elements from the filter tube (tweezers or long nosed
pliers are recommended for this operation).
4. Fit a new filter element set ensuring that the coarse grade filter is inserted
into the tube first. Care should be taken to ensure that the filters are not
compressed during fitting and that the fine filter is positioned flush with the
top of the filter tube.
5. Remove each detector from its mounting base by twisting anti-clockwise.
6. Remove the detector cover by prying away the four side tabs with a smallbladed screwdriver, and then pulling the cover from the base.
7. Vacuum the screen carefully without removing it. If further cleaning is
required continue with Step 8, otherwise skip to Step 12.
8. Remove the screen/chamber cover assembly by pulling it straight out.
9. Clean the chamber by vacuuming or blowing out dust and particles.
10. Replace the sensing chamber cover, aligning the arrow on the top with
arrow on the printed circuit board.
11. To replace the screen, place it over the chamber assembly, turning it until
it snaps into place.
12. Replace the cover using the LEDs to align the cover and then gently
pushing it until it locks into place.
13. Reinstall the detectors onto their bases ensuring that they are in the
correct position i.e. detector set to address 1 fitted to detector 1 position.
14. Refit the transparent cover, apply power to unit and carry out Flow
Calibration procedure.
15. Reconnect disabled circuits.
